Open VSCode using `code .` in the current window, instead of opening a new window?

Is there a way to open VSCode using code . in the current VSCode window?

Whenever I open a new window in VSCode and open up the terminal inside of VSCode and create my project and then use code ., it always opens a brand new VSCode window instead of just loading in my current window.

I don't get why it doesn't just load in the current VSCode window instead of opening up a brand new VSCode window?

Yes, you can achievev this by:

code -r .

The -r flag is the alias for --reuse-window.

Moreover, if you experience the same issue on a file basis (e.g., code test.py opens test.py in the wrong window), you can do:

code -r test.py .
